While Paul S' example may do the same as your code; it does it approximately, not exactly. Your example is 'hardwired'; that is, the url and title are explicity stated. If dethfire needs to open more than one window, s/he will have to copy your code for each window, make the appropriate changes and then rename each copy of both the function and the call.

Paul's code, on the other hand, is generic and can be used for more than one window/script/page. If more than one window needs to be opened, the developer only needs to change the call: openWindow('main.html','new')
